Nightmares for a Week

On medical animal testing:

xlakdjfdlakjsdf:

People used to do gruesome experiments using other people. Just because you can do something and get ‘beneficial’ results, doesn’t mean you should do it. There are always other ways, humane ways, to do things.

Besides, quite a lot of our current human ailments are caused by diet, nutrition and lack of exercise. Or poisoning from all the nasty chemicals in everything (seriously this bothers me so much, stupid industrial revolution or whatever).

So I certainly don’t think animals should be tortured just because the system is geared towards treatment instead of prevention and completely fails to efficiently and accurately educate people on how not to give themselves cancer, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, etc, and instead actively works TO give them patterns of behavior that lead to these health problems.

why dairy and eggs still = death for animals

fuckyeahveganlife:

i’ve had a couple of requests to post my ask response from yesterday so people can reblog it, so here it is:

the thing is, the milk and eggs you eat are not dead animals, but many animals suffer and die in the making of those products (and others).

mother cows have a very strong bond with their calves, and go through what could only be described as torture when their babies are taken away from them immediately, over and over, so they can produce milk for human consumption. their daughters can expect the same as them, and their sons can expect to be confined immobile inside a crate for a matter of months before they are slaughtered in the veal industry. 

male chicks can expect even less of a life, and are either ground up alive    hours after hatching or bagged by the hundreds and thrown in dumpsters.

not to mention, sheep on wool farms have been bred to produce more and more wool, causing them to have serious skin and insect problems, which farmers have tried to remedy in may horrific ways, including “mulesing,” where skin on their butts is removed without anesthetic so the bugs have nowhere to burrow.
